That was RJ's biggest flaw, IMO Deadsy Send a noteboard - 11/12/2009 02:45:41 PM
he had trouble writing realistic bad guys. Someone's going to reply to me saying "but the bad guys having flaws is realistic."

Sorry, losing every single time and having horrible plans over and over again is about as realistic as the storm troopers missing every single shot they ever fired at Luke/Han/Leia/etc.


(she should have usurped Moiraine first if you ask me).


About Lanfear... I was just reading The Great Hunt and having similar thoughts. She could have stuck around Rand. He would have decided he wanted her if she'd just stayed around for a few more days. It was unrealistic for her to leave him. It's just what RJ needed to happen.

Oh you are being unfair! darius_sedai - 10/12/2009 04:49:31 PM 925 Views
LOL. Are you implying Mesaana killed Asmodean? *NM* Logain - 10/12/2009 07:13:27 PM 374 Views
That would be a funny twist, but in reality I think we all know darius_sedai - 10/12/2009 08:10:16 PM 900 Views
Yes; this pretty much matched my expectations - esp. for Demandred. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 10/12/2009 04:56:32 PM 949 Views
Mesaana was motivated out of... Logain - 10/12/2009 07:16:43 PM 859 Views
Ah, then she would be more of an idiot than I thought. 2nd Rate indeed. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 10/12/2009 08:19:05 PM 361 Views

But BS said that Shaidar Haran couldn't do things in the physical world without aid. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 11/12/2009 03:20:59 PM 828 Views
I think that just proves SH isn't gay! *NM* fionwe1987 - 11/12/2009 04:07:47 PM 357 Views

Re: Or it could just prove RugbyPlayingAshaman - 11/12/2009 07:00:57 PM 723 Views
I agree, but I think it's about the DO being totally random darius_sedai - 11/12/2009 07:07:17 PM 808 Views
Did he say he could not touch things, or that he just could not counter uber-channeling? Datakim - 12/12/2009 12:30:40 AM 764 Views
I don't ever want to find out who Demandred is Deadsy - 11/12/2009 02:47:58 PM 735 Views
Imagine how bad it would be if BlackAdder - 11/12/2009 11:22:56 PM 763 Views

he hasn't really done anything lankyevilme - 10/12/2009 05:25:03 PM 837 Views
But the point is valid darius_sedai - 10/12/2009 05:32:12 PM 953 Views
I'm pretty sure he did something... Etzel - 10/12/2009 05:33:04 PM 839 Views
Re: I'm pretty sure he did something... darius_sedai - 10/12/2009 07:51:25 PM 720 Views
Yeah, but now Graendal is dead, while Demandred is still alive. *NM* Etzel - 10/12/2009 08:29:24 PM 746 Views
Re: Yeah, but now Graendal is dead, while Demandred is still alive. *NM* darius_sedai - 11/12/2009 12:17:54 AM 721 Views
I tend to agree Sidious - 11/12/2009 06:52:51 AM 960 Views
I think Demandred is pretty smart... Etzel - 11/12/2009 11:45:58 AM 767 Views
of course he's never set foot anywhere close to anything long enough darius_sedai - 11/12/2009 02:11:19 PM 765 Views
Is it smart to take a risk... Etzel - 11/12/2009 02:22:18 PM 719 Views
I think your making a lot of assumptions darius_sedai - 11/12/2009 05:40:47 PM 742 Views
Well... Etzel - 11/12/2009 06:04:47 PM 779 Views
Re: Well... darius_sedai - 11/12/2009 07:15:06 PM 903 Views
I agree that Demandred will fail in the end. Etzel - 12/12/2009 11:00:59 AM 740 Views
Either a Channeler or Mat darius_sedai - 12/12/2009 03:41:09 PM 652 Views
According to RJ... Sidious - 12/12/2009 12:32:12 PM 818 Views
makes you wonder darius_sedai - 12/12/2009 03:39:08 PM 754 Views
Re: makes you wonder Etzel - 12/12/2009 03:47:18 PM 751 Views
Thanks for the BS quote, that's new news to me! darius_sedai - 12/12/2009 03:55:37 PM 719 Views
Moridin didn't want to betrayal Sammael... Etzel - 12/12/2009 04:07:49 PM 684 Views
It amounts to the same thing darius_sedai - 12/12/2009 04:12:42 PM 746 Views
Then you could also say... Etzel - 12/12/2009 04:22:30 PM 673 Views
no actually you cannot darius_sedai - 12/12/2009 04:46:03 PM 693 Views

thanks for your permission darius_sedai - 12/12/2009 04:53:01 PM 703 Views
To be fair, Mesaana's brood of channelers promise could still come to fruition. *NM* RandAllThor - 10/12/2009 04:58:28 PM 385 Views
Yup, especially if she is a higher-up AS in the tower. Lord Haart - 10/12/2009 05:57:12 PM 801 Views
Sanderson's first attempt at portraying the Forsaken based on character summaries in RJ's notes... Shannow - 10/12/2009 05:29:51 PM 931 Views
Well... Sidious - 11/12/2009 06:55:17 AM 780 Views
That was RJ's biggest flaw, IMO Deadsy - 11/12/2009 02:45:41 PM 819 Views
I'll respond to someone who wants to say that beetnemesis - 11/12/2009 05:19:52 PM 846 Views
Ya. Fain's a good exception. I still have hopes for him. And... Thereva was scary, but... Deadsy - 11/12/2009 08:32:38 PM 729 Views
Slayer/Luc/Isam is also pretty cool. Lord Haart - 12/12/2009 04:16:14 PM 741 Views
One theme of tGS was "The Forsaken are actually pretty lame" beetnemesis - 11/12/2009 05:12:55 PM 784 Views
